1. take 3 pictures of the same thing. 1st pic make sure good exposure. 2nd pic u take maybe +1 stop, then the 3rd -1 stop.
2. open photoshop, File > automate > Merge as HDR. open the 3 pictures juz now n play with the sliders ;p

i think creating the HDR process is the easy part...juz dont oversaturate n beware for the halo effect (white glowing outline) like A LOT of 'HDR' pics here +_+ HDR technique is supposed to create a better picture where u dont lose details in shadows and highlights! it's supposed to look like its taken by only one exposure. HDR can make stunning images, but always midused for contrasty 'clown vomit' (i forgot where i read that phrase heheh)

well done

got any way to do this in D40? for non-static subject of course

arghhh! i guess wont be selling my LX3 then, compact also can do bracketing haha

i think this would be a nice shot if u didnt include the model hehehe. yes the face isnt sharp (although i love the color of the jeans). or maybe have the model face away from the camera? so u'll still have a 'character' but she doesnt have to freeze her face for so long
